The shipping companies dispatched expresses to Perth, Arbroath, and other towns, Where seamen were easily pro: cured, at the wages refused by the Dundee seamen. We have been informed, that, on Saturday night, a deputation from the " Union Association" wt:ited on the men thus got . froM other towns, and offered to pay them a month's wages, m ith their expences back to their own homes, if they would break the engagements made with the Shipping Companies. The offer was rejected, end, on Sunday morning, while the Lord Kinnaird was hauling put, the crew were assailed with the must abusive language by a party of Union•men stationed at the'ilnck gates, apparently for the purpose of doing so.

No one, we are assured, blames the Cliief Magistrate, as, had he 'been left to his own humane principles and 'Un biassed judgment, is is believed he would have acted differently ; but the Circumstance is worthy of notice, as being the only instance of the kind th a t has occurred in the kingdom.—(Humpshire Telegraph.)

A subscription had been made by the French and Knglish to afford him the means of forming a new establishment, towards which a very fine silver bear was procured, and under the impression that such brutal sports afford *amusement to the Eng;ishmett, the promoters ar ranged an attack on the unfortunate animal, by the most ferocious dogs that could be procured. Many of the English it appears, who subscribed from charitable motives, were unaware of the cruelty they uninteutionally promoted, and seve,- ral ladies endeavoured when too lute to preserve the animal from its inhUman perseeutors; an assurance has, howeveri since been obtained from the French authorities, that no further exhibition o f suc h disgusting scenes will be permitted within Cinque Ports Herald.) their jurisdiction. — ( The Jewish FeStival of the Passover, many of our readers are no doubt aware, usually occurs within a few days of our Easter, the p er iods pf the return of . both bein g regu lated by the same natural events.

Peter flosklng, a surgeon residing in Fleet-itreet, stated that when he saw the deceased she was guile dead. There was sto external violence visible, and he considered she died from a concussion of the brain, which, acting with intoxica tion, would - cause instant death. The Jury returned a verdict, that the deceased accidentally fell down stairs, which caused her death, and they accompanied their :verdict with a recommendation to the landlord of the house to place a gate at the stairhead, which in all probability would prevent future similar accidents.

The situation of Mr. Ford's premises was such, that in a little 'time the houses of Mr. Fisher, a furniture-broker, Mr. Cruet, a green-grocer, and the shop and tint ber yard of Mr.'Weetly, a carpenter, were all on fire, and notwithstanding the speedy arrival of several engines, and the utmost exertions of the firemen, their endeavours were completely paralyzed from there being no water to be ob. trained at the time the whole of the above pro ndses were burning and the preservation of the neighbourhood is more to he attributed to the activity of the firemen than to any supply of wa. ter which could be procured during the whole of the conflagration.
